Why buy Hidden Gems Instead of World Class Players in FIFA 18?

It's tempting to want to target only the very best players in FIFA 18, but that has one big problem: cost! You don't need a team of 90-rated players in FIFA 18 in order to win and have a good career mode, and hidden gems like the ones above can be bought cheaply and grow with the team over a number of years. In the end it comes down to how you want to play FIFA 18's career mode.

Aim to buy the players with the highest potential rating from our list above. Some players will be almost impossible to buy, espeically if they've only recently joined a new club, but keep at it and you'll build up a team that will grow into something really strong in a few seasons. Buying hidden gems in FIFA 18 is an especially good idea if you're managing a club that isn't massively wealthy. While Manchester United, Real Madid and the like can afford top players, lower clubs will have to be smart in the transfer market. Hidden gems are great for these clubs.

FIFA 18 Hidden Gems - What to Remember

Just like the FIFA 18 Wonderkids, Hidden gems in FIFA 18 will remain rather hidden unless you train them up well. This means you can't buy a hidden gem in FIFA 18 and leave them on the bench or in the reserves. They will grow, but not to the extent they could if they get regular game time. A player needs to be nurtured in order to reach their potential.

With this info on the FIFA 18 hidden gems you should be able to build a cheap team that can go on to become pretty great. Throw in some world class players and you'll have a team that can take on the best in the world.

Here's all the Fortnite Battle Royale tips you need to emerge victorious against the other 99 players, no matter which platform you're playing on, as well as all the info on the Fortnite Battle Royale 50 v 50 mode. Season 3 details, including new Battle Pass and loot.

Super Smash Bros Switch is coming in 2018, but what else do we know about it. We look at the confirmed character roster for Smash Bros on Switch and speculate over whether the game is brand new or based on the Wii U/3DS game. All characters in Super Smash Bros. Switch.

GTA 6 could be merely a few years away, according to a new report, and it could feature a female lead for the first time in the series. This is a complete round-up of GTA 6 rumors, including info on the GTA 6 release date.

Here are all the rumors and speculation surrounding the PS5, including a potential PS5 release date, power, and launch games of Sony's inevitable PS5. Is the PS5 releasing in 2019? We give our opinion in this post-Switch world.
